Engineering
AspenTech's Engineering solutions utilize a consistent set of data, simulation models, and analysis tools to rapidly innovate new production processes, reduce process development and equipment design time and costs, as well as optimize operational performance throughout the asset lifecycle.
The use of consistent simulation and data models for all engineering efforts throughout
the asset lifecycle allows you to:
- Determine the fundamental feasibility of the process during the conceptual design
phase
- Quickly explore and optimize the equipment investment vs. lifecycle performance
trade-offs
- Consider energy efficiency as an integral part of the design process
-
Collaborate cross-functionally across the process development workflow by sharing,
leveraging, and managing information, data, and models in a common integrated environment
-
Create processes and equipment that are truly designed for manufacturing performance
excellence (throughput, yields, product quality and consistency, etc.)
- Reduce
the total lifecycle costs and improve operational performance of the process, equipment,
and plant
Key business processes supported are:
- Process Modeling - Model and optimize production processes
using an integrated environment for process flowsheet simulation
- Conceptual
Engineering - Identify the optimal design concept and feasibility
for your process by providing simulation tools, models, and data for analyzing individual
segments of the process, as well as the process as a whole
- Process Development
- Support the work process and information requirements from R&D through full-scale
production
- Basic Engineering - Base decisions on consistent
data and models while leveraging existing knowledge and expertise, no matter where
they are physically located
- Equipment Design & Rating -
Manage capital and operating costs while improving process controllability by optimizing
the design and rating of heat transfer systems
- Cost Estimation
- Rapidly and confidently evaluate capital investment projects early in the design
process to understand the economic implications of engineering decisions
-
Operations Support - Optimize the performance of your manufacturing processes
by using the same process model developed during the process design phas
